Doll Chateau Kid Dolls Discussion: Part 9

Aww, she's very cute! I love the soft pink of the wig with her face up.

 

@EagleVision1999 I think that wig is the perfect color! It goes so beautifully with her faceup and outfit. I love the way you restyled it too…it’s truly adorable on your girl.

 

Hi! I was wondering if anybody could help me with the comparison photo of Doll Chateau K-Body-01 and Dollzone B45-012 (42 cm), or K-01 with any msd girl somewhat shorter?

 

I can do this, I have both bodies at home. Do you need to see them dressed, nude, or both?

 

@IzabethS thank you, I've already got nude dolls comparison elsewhere, so it would be nice to see them dressed and with wigs on (and heads in that case).

 

Does anyone know anything in regards to the Bella 2 doll for the discontinuation event? I'm just confused because they are discontinuing her but regular Bella isn't being discontinued. My understanding is that Bella 2 is just a regular one except with extra wrist and ankle joints. But, it doesn't look like they're discontinuing the K-05 body with those extra joint pieces. So in theory she really isn't being discontinued? Is it just because maybe they don't want to do the Bella 2 fullsets and makeup anymore?

 

Could be.. perhaps either the faceup is too complex or they are having issues sourcing materials for the outfit.

 

I'm wondering this too...but in that case they could just discontinue the fullset option? It's weird.

 

Could someone help me to understand when does the new discontinuation event ends? I can see that dolls can be ordered up to 15th Dec, but Alice's Collections has some nice discounts on the bodies as well and not sure what is deadline.

I am waiting for an older SH Doll Chateau head and ideally would need to have it to compare resins before I get the body. I do not want to miss on the discount though!

And I have just started to fall in love with sculpts that are being discontinued - Cecile was only offered for a little over a year, I'm glad I managed to snatch it back in September.

 

@silmaryel I was kind of confused about when it ends as well as Doll Chateau themselves said the discontinuation is until the 30th of this month, in the original post on Instagram
Just be sure, I made my order with DDE today (after a few years away from the hobby..) to get the little event bat as well.

I ordered Cecile! Well, Cecile’s head lol Plus a full Sharon and Phoenix - If anyone has some pics of theirs to share while I settle in for the wait, I’d love to see them!

 

@M!ndy - I will try to post my Cecile once received - not a very popular sculpt out here! I planned to make them a girl with kid body (extra joints).

Unfortunately discount for the blank bodies was only up to Black Friday, it will be painful to pay full amount, ouch…

 

Thank you @silmaryel, I’ll look forward to seeing your girl! I’m thinking my Cecile will also be a girl but since I will have both kid boy and girl bodies with Phoenix and Sharon, I’ll try Cecile on both of those (plus a few other bodies in my collection..) before I order them a body. Until then, Cecile will likely be sharing a body.
I did like Cecile’s original body, but finances could only allow for the head with the two full dolls lol

Oh no! The dates of this discontinuation plus Halloween events and obviously Black Friday was super confusing
Hopefully there will be a winter/New Year event soon? Maybe you can hold out for a body until then?

 

Oh, lucky day, my Cecile has shipped yesterday! Definitely much shorter wait than I expected. Doll was ordered beginning of September, so it's barely 3-months wait. That's amazing! Now let's see how long it will take to ship to my country, plus obvious customs fees

@M!ndy - the body I still need is for another doll, SD size - will snatch it once I receive my second-hand head, but thanks for mentioning winter/NY events, maybe this time timing will be better.

 

Wow that is fast! Hoping they arrive quickly and that you have to pay minimal customs fees.

 

I ordered this kid body from DDE during their sale/giveaway I got a DZ little deer/llama critter as the gift.
I sold the one I had before and missed this skinny thing. My DZ Carter looks great.

I’m with you 100% on loving this lithe body with it’s elongated limbs. It’s such a Doll Chateau classic, and a big reason I love this company’s dolls. There’s just something so artistic about it. I have the female version on 3 of my girls. Sometimes you just need a bit of that poetic litheness in your life. Your Carter looks perfect on it.

 

@PoeticSoul Thank you! Yes, the lithe body is so cool. So many dolly deals this season and Cupcake Carter and this body won my money.
I think I'm going to make the deer into a llama though and use the antlers on another doll.

 

Oh, now that’s a great idea! I’ve always admired the uniqueness and creativity of your crew, and I know you’ll make excellent use of those antlers elsewhere. The little guy will be perfect as a regular little llama.

 

Yay, I have received my Cecile today and this is the fastest I've received a new doll so far. Also, no customs

I just had to dress her as clothes and wig have been waiting for a few months I was kinda afraid of the pink skin [I'm still deciding which resin color I like the most] but DC is really pale. And I have discovered I really like MSD size and double wrists/ankles joints, but not so much the neck one

 

She's beautiful! Also, you can remove the additional neck piece and just use it as a regular neck!
